[quote=Anonymous]Well -- I would say what is really coming out here, and in other similar discussions, is: 1. The College Board "adversity" score is obviously long over due and truly needed although there certainly may still be arguments about calculations. 2. There needs to be a notation that additional test time was utilized by the test taker. Schools then may or may not consider the same in their accept/reject decisions based on the school's policies and what other information they may have on the particular student. 3. The College Board must note how many times a student takes the test regardless of whether scores are sent. There is still a huge issue of outside test preparation skewing scores. That's obviously more difficult to address, because a company cannot prohibit kids from seeking outside help. It does, however, unfairly skew the scoring system. I would be curious what others think is an appropriate way to address that problem. [/quote]
